Words By Which to Live

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."-Theodore Roosevelt

Malachi has enjoyed riding his tricycle for a while now but last weekend we made the transition to a bike. We'll let him get used to the bike and take the training wheels off when he seems ready. I am curious for those friends of mine who've been there done that, how old was your child when they learned to ride without the training wheels?
